I remember when we dined at Chili's Mililani and she was our waitress! She was so personable and did a great job! It makes me so happy and proud to see her still following her dreams and creating great music!

I remember we couldn’t make phone calls (pre-cellphones) when American Idol was on because everyone was calling and voting for them & the phone system couldn’t handle… then the next week American Idol kinda scolded the girls and/or Hawai’i for voting so much and I think they made Jasmin cry.
